That's utter genius - Although technically, dosen't Maggie wrench her steering wheel twice in the original?

Saw this earlier today. It's fantastic, isn't it?

I'm still not sure if it's an advert or an intro to an actual episode.

From the junction markings just before Homer throws the carbon rod out of the window, it looks like it was shot in the UK, and a UK license plate on the car, too.

Yup - I would have said it's something C4 have done for trailing the series / padding out episodes when they aren't sponsered so they fit nicely in the standard timeslot

WHOA... a great idea

the only reason this would go live though is the voice actors do multiple characters, and the dubbing would be a bitch... one day though maybe

we hope... GREAT INTRO.

Teensy bit disappointed that there's no amusing sofa-related happening at the end... But pretty cool all the same!

Yep, was shot in the UK - filmed over 18 months

That's the first thing about the Simpsons that's made me smile for ages!

Well if we're going to get technical, the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car
